TOKYO: A Japanese plane narrowly avoided disaster earlier this month when it plunged over the Pacific, almost turning upside down, the transport ministry said on Wednesday.

The All Nippon Airways (ANA) flight, with 117 passengers and crew on board, dived 1,900 metres in 30 seconds in the incident off the southern Shizuoka district on September 6.

The manoeuvre happened when the co-pilot, in trying to unlock the cockpit door for the captain who was returning from the toilet, mistook a command button for the cockpit door lock switch nearby.

The plane, which took off from Naha on Okinawa island in the south, later managed to touch down at Tokyo’s Haneda airport safely.

European aircraft giant Airbus on 19 June, a day before the opening of the Le Bourget air show, presented his new project: a supersonic jet “Zero Emission Hypersonic Transportation” (Zehst), characterized by minimal emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere. It is reported by Agence France-Presse. It is expected that Zehst climb will use biofuels, and in the stratosphere to switch to rocket fuel. According to plans of Airbus, Zehst will fly at an altitude of 32 kilometers. For comparison, conventional airliners now fly at an altitude of 10 kilometers from the earth. If the project Zehst is implemented, it will be able to carry 50-100 passengers from Paris to Tokyo for two and a half hours. In the Airbus expect that the prototype of the new aircraft will be ready by 2020 and commercial operation will be introduced Zehst around 2050. The project is being developed jointly with Europe and Japan. At the Paris Air Show in Le Bourget, you will see a 4-meter model Zehst.
